The purpose of this paper is to present a general method for forcing on $\omega_2$ and $\omega_3$ with finite conditions, while preserving all cardinals and some fragments of $\mathrm{GCH}$. This method is based on the technique of forcing…

We analyze the forcing notion $\mathcal P$ of finite matrices whose rows consists of isomorphic countable elementary submodels of a given structure of the form $H_{\theta}$. We show that forcing with this poset adds a Kurepa tree $T$.…

We investigate the extent of second order characterizable structures by extending Shelah's Main Gap dichotomy to second order logic. For this end we consider a countable complete first order theory T. We show that all sufficiently large…

We give conditions for a locally finite poset $P$ to have the property that for any functions $f:P\to {\bf C}$ and $g:P\to {\bf C}$ not identically zero and linked by the M\"obius inversion formula, the support of at least one of $f$ and…

We prove two general results about the preservation of extendible and $C^{(n)}$-extendible cardinals under a wide class of forcing iterations (Theorems 5.4 and 7.5). As applications we give new proofs of the preservation of Vop\v{e}nka's…

Tukey order are used to compare the cofinal complexity of partially order sets (posets). We prove that there is a $2^\mathfrak{c}$-sized collection of sub-posets in $2^\omega$ which forms an antichain in the sense of Tukey ordering. Using…

The classical 1991 result by Brightwell and Winkler states that the number of linear extensions of a poset is #P-complete. We extend this result to posets with certain restrictions. First, we prove that the number of linear extension for…

A cohesive power of a computable structure is an effective ultrapower where a cohesive set acts as an ultrafilter. Let $\omega$, $\zeta$, and $\eta$ denote the respective order-types of the natural numbers, the integers, and the rationals.…

If $\kappa$ is regular and $2^{<\kappa}\leq\kappa^+$, then the existence of a weakly presaturated ideal on $\kappa^+$ implies $\square^*_\kappa$. This partially answers a question of Foreman and Magidor about the approachability ideal on…

We show that in the aleph_2-stage countable support iteration of Mathias forcing over a model of CH the complete Boolean algebra generated by absolutely divergent series under eventual dominance is not isomorphic to the completion of…

For a relational structure ${\mathbb X}$ we investigate the partial order $\langle {\mathbb P} ({\mathbb X}) ,\subset \rangle$, where ${\mathbb P} ({\mathbb X}):=\{ f[X]: f\in \mathop{\rm Emb}\nolimits ({\mathbb X})\}$. Here we consider…

We isolate the limit-stage filter construction needed for countable-support symmetric iterations built from standard successor-step symmetric systems. At successor stages we take the $\omega_1$-completion of the usual successor-stage…

In this note we are concerned with the validity of an uncountable analogue of a combinatorial lemma due to Vlastimil Pt\'ak. We show that the validity of the result for $\omega_1$ can not be decided in ZFC alone. We also provide a…

We prove a variation of Easton's lemma for strongly proper forcings, and use it to prove that, unlike the stronger principle $\textsf{IGMP}$, $\textsf{GMP}$ together with $2^\omega \le \omega_2$ is consistent with the existence of an…

We show that Shelah cardinals are preserved under the canonical $GCH$ forcing notion. We also show that if $GCH$ holds and $F:REG\rightarrow CARD$ is an Easton function which satisfies some weak properties, then there exists a cofinality…

In this paper we study the existence of continuous solutions and their constructions for a second order iterative functional equation, which involves iterate of the unknown function and a nonlinear term. Imposing Lipschitz conditions to…

We deal with the problem of preserving various versions of completeness in (< kappa) --support iterations of forcing notions, generalizing the case ``S --complete proper is preserved by CS iterations for a stationary co-stationary S…

We introduce a notion of pattern occurrence that generalizes both classical permutation patterns as well as poset containment. Many questions about pattern statistics and avoidance generalize naturally to this setting, and we focus on…

A poset is representable if it can be embedded in a field of sets in such a way that existing finite meets and joins become intersections and unions respectively (we say finite meets and joins are preserved). More generally, for cardinals…

In this note we prove several theorems that are related to some results and problems from [6]. We answer two of the main problems that were raised in [6]. First we give a ZFC example of a Hausdorff space in $C(\omega_1)$ that has…
